God, what a disgusting group of people.

[Chief Justice Keef]

A bunch of ghouls.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I wonder if they will retire the CPAC straw poll this year or if they will do a 2020 primary poll?  Anyway, I'm planning to attend my third CPAC this year- it should be really fun now that Republicans control everything!

[Mr. Morden]

David Clarke now confirmed as a speaker:

http://cpac.conservative.org/2017/02/sheriff-david-clarke-confirmed-to-speak/

And Michael Reagan will do the "Reagan dinner" speech:

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I can't promise anything while I am there, but I will give a round-up here when it's over!

[NeverAgain]

Very sad folks. Very very sad.

[Kleine Scheiße]

I will be attending!

I believe Jim DeMint was slated to speak, as well.

I am a huge fan of his and of The Heritage Foundation as well.

[Vosem]

Tell us about what Michael Reagan speaks about and how its received -- he was a very big Trump critic during the election (essentially said his father would've backed Hillary), so it'll be interesting how he appraises the early Trump Administration and what angle he chooses to take his remarks in.

Don't know if I will pay the $250 to go to the Reagan Dinner or not yet!

[Mr. Morden]

Pence confirmed as a speaker:

I'm still curious to see if any #NeverTrumpers will be invited.  John Kasich and Mia Love both spoke last year (though I can't imagine Kasich being invited now, and Mia Love wasn't yet #NeverTrump at that point).  Ben Sasse, Mike Lee, and even Gary Johnson participated in panels last year, even though they didn't get solo speeches.  Will any of them be invited back?  Will anyone from the libertarian wing of the party be invited?

[Mr. Morden]

Several more speakers now listed:

http://cpac.conservative.org/speakers/

Matt Bevin, Sam Brownback, Jim DeMint, and Lou Dobbs.  But honestly, looks like a lot of B-listers this time, e.g., some nobodies from the House of Representatives, and Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton (who I assume was invited because she’s a black female Republican who holds statewide office).

I guess since 2020 will have an incumbent Republican president on the ballot, most of the Republican politicians with presidential ambitions aren’t going to bother this time.  While I do think Trump might face a primary challenge in 2020, his main antagonists within the party apparently aren’t being invited to this (or else they just don’t want to go)?

[Mr. Morden]

John Bolton and Carly Fiorina confirmed as speakers:

Also: Dana Loesch, Charlie Kirk, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, and Gordon Chang.

For real. The GOP keeps going further and further to the right, but that's fine with me, the demographics show that eventually these type of politicians will only do well in rural America.

[Mr. Morden]

Many more speakers now listed, including Milo Yiannopoulos:

[Mr. Morden]

Trump, Bannon, Priebus, and Santorum all added to the list of speakers:

[progressive85]

Why do the Progressives not have a PPAC?  Yet another example of the Conservatives having a better ideological infrastructure.

[Kleine Scheiße]

The full schedule is out. Farage!

[Mr. Morden]

CPAC used to be pretty friendly to the libertarian wing of the GOP, with both Ron and Rand Paul either winning or doing very well in the straw polls.  But based on the list of speakers this time, it seems to have been transformed into a Trump pep rally, with Trump skeptics in the party either not having been invited or not interested in attending.  No Paul, no Amash, no Trump skeptics like Jeff Flake or Ben Sasse or Mike Lee.  The closest thing we have to Trump skeptics here are Cruz and Fiorina, who waited until late in the year last year to endorse Trump, but eventually did so.

Thus, there's no one speaking this year who is going to end up challenging Trump in the 2020 primaries.  Though, sure, if Trump voluntarily chooses not to run for a second term, then you could have folks like Cruz in the race.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I will be attending!

Same here.

THE Ken Bone will be in attendance
